Not to highlight my craziness or anything but...

Here's a new writing landcomm.  No, I'm not joining it, exactly.  I actually co-own it and we're kicking things off on December 1st (yes, I've been helping set up and plan this while having a nervous breakdown and it's the only thing that kept me sane at one point).

Anyway

Do you like to write?  Want a

Wait...a minute...when did I end up creating a comm??? LOL >.<

Great blurb btw :) (And thanks for being social director in the bookclub. I've been sorting, pointing, and approving everyone and I was like "OH NO I HAZ to SAY SOMETHING IN BOOKCLUB" but you saved me.

I kind of figured you'd be busy with all that and I remember being new to stargateland and feeling lost with no intro post around because everyone already knew each other. Figured I'd get the ball rolling. I'll plan a friending meme for after we get started. Maybe some other stuff and maybe one of the other mods or someone else will want to take over as social director later on.

Well it does sounds interesting... ...

Um... Okay. I have to ask. What the heck is a landcomm!?! :) I get that there are teams who are supposed to be writing something, but what are the teams expected to write? Is it collaborative effort or individual projects? Please excuse my ignorance, but I have no clue how this works.

It's okay. I was new at this earlier this year. stargateland was the first landcomm I ever joined. That was back in the spring and I had no idea what was going on really.

What we have at writerverse is 2 (for the moment) teams. As an owner I'm not on a team, I root for them all and if I participate in a challenge my points go to whichever team got the lowest points for that challenge (takes the pressure off of me so I like that). Anyway, every few days or so we'll put out another challenge. We've opened up this comm to every kind of creative writing and we're hoping people will not only do challenges they are comfortable with (ie fanfic) but try something new (like haiku or screenplays). Most challenges will be open to any kind of writing with a theme or prompt to write from in whatever medium the person chooses but others are going to be specific to something, like poetry.

And I'm sure at least one challenge will be a group effort. We started out as fictionland but the owner went off to college so we moved on (with her blessings eventually) and we did a

Sounds awesome but I gave up land comms ages ago and have sworn never to go back. So... instead, best of luck with it. :)
